9,561 Pointsunable to set gradient from bottom to top
I'm not sure of what I'm doing wrong here. If you're to reposition the gradient to start from the bottom, wouldn't the keyword be "to bottom" followed by the colors separated by a comma. I'm a little confused. If someone could look at my code and help me fix it. I would appreciate it.
Thanks

231,275 PointsIt looks like you have two issues:
- you need a comma between the direction and the color
- your direction is going the wrong way, you need "to top" instead
